Gill's Notes on the Bible

Till the Lord look do: on, and behold from heaven. Disperses and dissipates the cloud that was about him; shines forth and manifests himself, and looks favourably upon his people, and delivers them out of their troubles: this the prophet was in hope of, and was waiting for; but, till it came to pass, could have no rest and comfort. The Targum is,

"till he look and behold my injury;''

as if he had regard to his own personal injury done him; but the former sense is best.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The deep sympathy of the prophet, which pours itself forth in abundant tears over the distress of his people.
